Charles is a part of a group of investment professionals who draft a research report for clients that includes a recommendation to purchase a particular security. Charles does not agree with the research or the recommendation that is the consensus of the group. Under the Code and Standards, Charles's best course of action is to: A. draft and publish his own dissenting report and recommendation for the client to consider. B. dissociate from the report and not let his name be associated with it. C. allow his name to be associated with the report and recommendation if he is confident in the process and believes the opinion has a reasonable and adequate basis and is independent and objective.

As Brett works on his bank audit, he notices that there are discrepancies between the financial statements supporting a bank loan to HoBoy Distributors and what he saw on his audit of that company.

Brett should: a. call the CFO and try to persuade him to change the loan application. b. alert his bank client of his suspicions. c. do nothing. d. hint to the bank of his suspicions. e. report the information to Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe.
